If all goes well, Chronicling America has an obituary for him (not sure links work from the browser address so here goes)
http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88076526/1922-05-31/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1907&sort=date&rows=20&words=Olson+OLSON+WILLIAM+William&searchType=basic&sequence=0&index=2&state=North+Dakota&date2=1924&proxtext=william+olson&y=12&x=17&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=53
I have asked his granddaughter to order a copy of the death certificate, which I can only get if I'm a direct descendant, which I'm not - his wife was my Mom's aunt, sister of my grandmother. Or if he's been dead for 100 years, then the information becomes 'public', and according to the obit, which I already had, he died in 1922...
You are able to get dc for genealogical purposes. For instance I just got my step mother's d.c. and she is absolutely no relation to me whatsoever. The only thing missing was her cause of death. You can also get a d.c. because you are a cousin.
I have tried this before in North Dakota. Back when I started genealogy, I could get them, but they changed their state law or practice. So I'll wait for the granddaughter to get the document. :-) |

Well here is a long shot. Mr. & Mrs Willie Olson visited an Ed. Olson in the county. There is an Edmund / Edmond Olson b. about 1860 living in Ramsey county, related?
Possibly your William in 1915 North Dakota Census, living with and probably working for Edmond and Signa Olson although without an age or other biographical detail hard to determine for certain:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QK9C-T459
This is probably Edmond carried as Edward in 1900 census:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M9VL-PQ2
Edmund's listing in the North Dakota Public Death Index:
OLSON, EDMUND
05/08/1934
Ramsey
MALE
73 Years
07/22/1860
North Dakota

Perhaps an uncle? I'm not sure, but he came in 1882, while Willie was born in Skien in 1894, and emigrated in 1907. |

That said, John Zettler, his father-in-law, owned land in the area, he had been farming the Fogner farm, and on his obit, the pallbearer names are from that same area: Pall bearers were Henry Keogh, Arthur Snider, Edwin Mandt, Geo. Dahlen, Alvin Kleven, and H. F. Schneiderjohn.

Well, here is a total long shot and he contradicts both the birthdate and place and migration date in US records thus far, #21 William b 1 June 1895 and was still in Norway in 1910:
SAKO, Solum kirkebøker, G/Gb/L0003: Klokkerbok nr. II 3, 1880-1898, s. 55
Brukslenke for sidevisning: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061130060172
And another in vestre Porsgrunn records who was born either Mar or May 17 1894 # 21 Ole William Olsen:
SAKO, Porsgrunn kirkebøker , F/Fa/L0008: Ministerialbok nr. 8, 1878-1895, s. 149
Brukslenke for sidevisning: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/kb20060612030396
And another in Gjerpen Hans Olsen b 17 May 1896 1/2 of a set of twins #65
SAKO, Gjerpen kirkebøker, G/Ga/L0002: Klokkerbok nr. I 2, 1883-1900, s. 164
Brukslenke for sidevisning: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061129010177
Also in Gjerpen #39 Vilhelm Johansen b 15 May 1894:
SAKO, Gjerpen kirkebøker, G/Ga/L0002: Klokkerbok nr. I 2, 1883-1900, s. 137

His granddaughter got the death certificate. It states the father as Ole Vettelson and the mother as Gertie Knudsen.

| According to William Olson, or Olsen's death certificate, his father's name was Ole Vetlesen and his mother was Gjertrud Knudsdatter. I've looked for them but had no luck. His granddaughter told me that a story exists that he took the name of the place where he was living, but that is not necessarily true, because he was living on the farm of Louis Frogner (also from Skien, Telemark), at the time of his death. Mr. Frogner apparantly never married, but rented his farm in Cleveland township. |

Okay this is an exceedingly long shot, too. Mother's name doesn't match, birth date doesn't and birthplace doesn't match:
1900 Norwegian census:

This family came to US in 1906

According to the Community Tree for Mo bygdebok at familysearch.org there is a relative named Anund Olavson who was born in 1860. Here is his baptism # 34
SAKO, Mo kirkebøker, F/Fa/L0005: Parish register (official) no. I 5, 1844-1864, p. 131
Quick link: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20051007010641
Interestingly his birthdate is 22 July 1860 and makes him a likely candidate for Edmund above. He is not an uncle but a first cousin to Vetli Olsen's dad Olav. |
